When Demetria Foster was a young girl, she would invite her friends in the neighborhood over to play school. They would gather chairs from the all over the house and line them up in neat rows in the front yard. Of course, she would start by taking attendance and handing out little schoolbooks that she made herself. The class would then work from the books on whatever assignment she had decided on for that day. Demetria was four when she started “teaching.” Now, she is living her childhood dream by teaching business courses at Berkeley College.

A proven go-getter, Domanique Martin demonstrates her passion and drive in all aspects of her career. The current senior and Student Aide at the Newark campus of Berkeley College explains why investing in her interest in the justice system and becoming part of the Berkeley network has resulted in her personal and professional growth.

Visiting the campus has always been an important part of the college decision process. And it’s still possible to get an up-close look at all of Berkeley College’s locations—even though schools across the nation are temporarily closed due to the current coronavirus pandemic.

Having an outstanding, supportive group of faculty members, with relevant professional experience, is one of the benefits that students love most about Berkeley College. Through our Berkeley College Faculty Spotlight, current and prospective students will learn more about why professors like Ruth Shaver, enjoy teaching at Berkeley College each day.
